THE NEW PUBLIC PARK.

Committee on Compensation Discuss the Laying of Assessments and Damages on the Land Taken for the New Park-Testimony Taken as to the Value of old Town Farm Prop erty.
 The board of compen sation met at the City Hall last evening to consider the laying of assessments and damages on the changing of the old town farm into a public park Ex- Governor Ingersoll appeared for the trustees of the town farm and Corporation Counsel Driscoll for the city. Attorney Chas. Hamilton was present for himself E. G. Stoddard, Joseph Joyce and others who own property in the vicinity of the new park. Counsel Drisco1l argued that the farm was originally held by the town, but under 8 special act of the legislature it was deeded to the present board of trustees, they to hold it in trust for the citizens of New Haven. Governor Ingersoll claimed in his argument that the farm was held for the specific purpose of building a new almshouse, the property to be sold at the market value.
 There was much testimony taken as to the present market value of the land in question. Prof. James T.Lee thought $10 per foot fair price. Ex-Councilman Chillingworth valued the land from $5 to $S per acre. Major Lincoln and Real Estate Agent Beecher were of the opinion that the land would bring about $10 per acre in the market. The com mittee adjourned till a week from next We'd nesday night.

Thousands of Men on Strike in the Various Trades.
 NEW YORK, May 20.-According to Brad streets, the industrial situation has not imt proved, about twenty six thousand employes having struck or been locked out during the week. The total striking and locked out this month to the 20th is 69,000, an average of about four thousand daily. The leading strikes have included thirty-one thousand building trades operatives at Chicago and fifteen thousand Pennsylvania coke workers. About three thousand shoemakers arc locked out in Massachusetts and twenty. eight hund- red stove moulders at Detroit. Small strikes include twenty thousand employees. Reports from 227 New England woolen mills show that large share of worsted and cassimere mills are running part of the machinery only short time. The output of worsted and fewer goods is less than year ago-less than in February last-and promises to be further reduced by July 1. Hosiery, satinet and shoddy output and demand are quite ac- tive. Very few mills are doing better than last year. The best grades of eastern foun- dry pig iron are firm and an increased de- mand would advance prices. Bessemer pig is off and merchant bar at Pittsburg is in lighter demand than for several months. Yet there is no over-production and no stock on hand. Special inquiries show that thirty four blast furnaces and four thousand em- ployes are idle in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia owing to the coke strike.
 Bradstreet's reports 142 failures in the United States during the past week against 167 during the preceding week, and 152, 164, 167 and 166 respectively in the corre- spending weeks of 1886, 1885, 1884 and 1883. The middle States had 4S, New Eng D. territories IF. Canada had 30, an increase of from the preceding week.

 Manager Troy is going to make things lively now for the other clubs. Yesterday the veteran Larry Corcoran, who has been playing in the National league for several years past as pitcher and short stop, was released by the Indianapolis National league team. Manager Troy thought he was in New York, and so telegraphed Roger Connor, the New York's first baseman, to secure him for New Haven. The Indianapolis club had left for Boston. however, before the dispatch arrived and Managea Troy last night tele- graphed to Boston. He will know by this morning whether New Haven will be so lucky as to secure the great Larry.
 They way the New Ravens played yester- day is enough evidence that to-day they may be able to beat the Bridgeports at Hamilton Park. Leary and Murphy will be New Haven's battery. Every member of the team is now working for victory, and close and exciting game may be expected to-day.

pire began, has carried with him at every game 8 six-shooter, for fear that he might be mobbed in doing such successful work for the Bridgeports. He will hand in his resig- nation as an umpire, for which eherybody rejoices. If Garfield had shown the least signs of improvement nothing would be said against him; but he constantly grew worse and worse.
 As the New Haven base ball team is now such good one and destined to do great work before the season closes, why would it not be good idea for the directors to put the reporters stand in more available place than it now is. It could be easily put on top of the grand stand. Where it now is there are many points of game which can not be correctly scored.

In view of this fact, and after much telegraphing, the members of the executive board of the Nation al Builders association decided this afternoon to assemble in Chicago next Tues dry and take hand in the struggle. There is a visible disposition among the Chicago builders this evening to keep matters as they are now until the arrival ofs the national committee Unless the situation has by that time greatly altered the idea is to push mat ters then with the support that the national organization can give in various ways if it so chooses Contributions for the new building interest council that is to enforce the card of principles are coming in already. one of Ingersell,s Disciples Punished.
